Hello!!! I realize that I’ve been very quiet here on the Blog this year. However, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t reading! Reading was definitely happening in my life!!!! And I was posting mostly on my page on Instagram. You can find me there @red5sbooknook to see all the books I posted about this year!
At the beginning of 2020, I knew I wanted to focus more on the quality of books that I would be reading instead of striving for a certain number of books to read in the year. I still set a goal for myself and tracked my books, but it wasn’t my focus. Now, at the end of 2020, I feel that I’m pleased with the quality of books that I chose. So many great books that I found it difficult to narrow down a Top 10 Favourite Books. However, even that focus of quality over quantity, the number of books I read this year has been my highest ever! Not sure how that happened! It doesn’t feel like I read more than usual, but I guess I did!
Pictured below are the books that I received for Christmas!!! Most years I buy my own gifts and then I know exactly what’s under the tree for me. This year I was ready for a change! I submitted my book wish list to my hubby in October, asked him to please shop at our local indie bookstore, and trusted that he would purchase books from that list. He did all of that and then he created a book scavenger hunt, with clues, for me to find my books on Christmas Day!

So, it’s been a pretty good reading year for me, and I feel good about my Christmas book haul as well! I hope you’ve experienced good things with books during 2020. And here’s to more happy reading in 2021!!!
